### Usage

Comma separated task list in the form `"name,1,2,12 name,4,5,9 name,2,3,6"`, where whitespace separates tasks.
(or you can use piping inputs `echo "name,1,2,3 name,10,30,40" | pert`)

Usage: 

`pert [optimistic,realistic,pessimistic]`

Example:

`pert name,1,3,4`

`pert name,10,15,20 name,5,7,10`

`pert "name,1,2,3" "name,15,17,20"`

`cat data.txt | pert`

`echo "name,1,2,3 name,9,10,14" | pert`


### Install

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/arzzen/pert.git && cd pert
$ sudo make install
```

For uninstalling, open up the cloned directory and run

```bash
